Used to Be -by- Stevie Wonder

..LYRICS...Superman was killed in DallasThere's no love left in the palaceSomeone took the Beatles' lead guitarHave another Chivas RegalYou're 12 years old and sex is legalYour parents don't know where or who you are

Used to be the hero of the ballgameTook the time to shake the loser's handUsed to be that failure only meant you didn't tryIn a world where people gave a damn

Great big wars in little placesLook at all those frightened facesBut don't come here, we just don't have the roomLove thy neighbours wife and daughterCleanse your life with Holy waterWe don't need to bathe, we've got perfume

Used to be a knight in shining armourDidn't have to own a shiny carDignity and courage were the measure of a manNot the drugs he needs to hide the scar

Can your teacher read, does your preacher prayDoes your president have soulHave you heard a real good ethnic joke todayMama took to speed and daddy ran awayBut you mustn't lose controlLet's cut the class, I got some grassThe kids are wild we just can't tame 'emDo we have the right to blame them

We fed them all our indecisionsWe wrecked their minds with televisionBut what the hell, they're too young to feel painBut I believe that love can save tomorrowBelieve the truth can make us freeSomeone tried to say it, then we nailed Him to a crossI guess it's still the way it used to be
